End of Support

Description

The features and functions available in this new release are truly
innovative and offer one of the most comprehensive solutions in the
industry.

Ease of Installation and Deployment

A new auto-discovery function is incorporated to search and discover all
of the Domino servers within the Domino directory without manual
intervention. Establishing alerts and determining thresholds is simple
due to server-based roles that determine key settings based on the "role"
of your Domino server. Thus, the administrator's job can be made easier.

Platform Support

The most prominent operating systems for Domino are supported including
Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, AS/400®, AIX®, and Sun Solaris. The
new architecture helps allow the flexibility to design and upgrade to
cross platform environments without limiting the scope of function of
monitoring and reporting tools.

New Java Client  Notes Administration Client "Look and Feel"

The design of the GUI is a key highlight. It is extremely intuitive and
highly functional since it has the "look and feel" of the Lotus Notes®
Administration Client. By invoking the interface from Lotus Notes,
Netscape, or Internet Explorer browsers, the tabbed main view allows easy
access to server status, graphs, reports, events, backup and restore
controls, troubleshooting tools, and server configuration information.
The operations perspective of the interface is outstanding as servers can
be grouped by domain, hierarchy, Domino release, operating system, server
status (up vs down), cluster, network, and monitor status. As you view
your Domino infrastructure when a problem occurs, the ability to drill
down and visualize the problem is right at your fingertips; thus, helping
to prevent long outages.

Enhanced Probe Technology

These tools enable the Domino Administrator to measure and record
application and server performance from an end user's point of view.
These lightweight and highly configurable probes generate representative
user transactions at scheduled intervals or on-the-fly while recording
and reporting results. The information is well-suited for such
activities as capacity planning and change management, and for assessing
conformance with service level objectives.

Profile Management and Roles

The concept of profiles and server-based roles has been completely
revised and enhanced. The role of a server is defined as the specific
tasks and work that a Domino server performs. The roles are pre-defined,
customizable, and re-usable for the number of servers of the small
business to the largest enterprise; thus allowing quick deployment of
monitors and thresholds with accuracy. Each role relates to a profile
manager that defines the events and the monitoring data collected.
Intensive testing and data analysis from some of the world's largest
Domino deployments have allowed Tivoli to create the optimum monitoring
parameters based on the role of the Domino server in your environment.

Enhanced Monitors and Tasks

Monitors and tasks provided include transactional logging, agent
monitors, replication monitors, and advanced cluster member monitoring.
The granularity of these monitors is incredible, right down to the
specifics of a user's mail file so that detailed trend analysis, SLA
reporting, and root cause analysis can be performed. The profile manager
and the server-based roles enable correct monitors and tasks to be
monitored based on the work that the server is performing.

Reporting and Graphing

Robust graphing and reporting is offered through both the Java-based
interface and through the Tivoli Decision Support product. Generating
text-based reports and amazing graphical reports via the Java-based
interface is simple. The graphing and reporting navigational tree
provides a view into the vast amount of data gathered to generate a
comprehensive report that can be mapped to your specific SLAs. Regarding
SLAs, this tool allows for removal of specific maintenance windows thus
helping to ensure the data is accurate, while considering your planned
outages.

For historical and trending data, Tivoli Decision Support provides the
optimal solution for gathering, analyzing, and presenting data to support
decision making within an organization. Tivoli Decision Support provides
a view of how servers are performing, how much work the servers are
doing, ranking of servers by several metrics, and can provide the ability
to forecast when problems may occur.
